Expert Review

This model falls under the tweener segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 67 RA results in a softer, more dampened response at impact. With an unstrung weight of 280 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x18 string pattern (open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 80/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 60/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. It is best suited for intermediate players.
